Defect
The plating applied to the electrode terminals of the ECU (engine control computer) is improper, causing the terminals to oxidize and the solder bonding them to peel away. Continued use leads to poor electrical contact at the terminals, illuminating a warning light and causing unstable engine idling. In the worst case, the engine stalls and cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the ECU serial number. Where the affected ECU is installed, replace it with a conforming unit.

状況
ＥＣＵ（エンジン制御コンピュータ）電極部のメッキ処理が不適切なため、電極部が酸化し電極を接合している半田が剥離するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、電極部が接触不良となり、警告灯が点灯するとともに、アイドリングが不調となり、最悪の場合、エンストし、再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ＥＣＵの製造番号を点検し、対象となるＥＣＵが装着されているものは、ＥＣＵを良品と交換する。
